A documentation of an ever-growing digital library of antiquated books, texts, photographs, maps, and illustrations. Collecting texts in varying subjects throughout known history with no real goal other than exploration and education.
I truly hope this brings some light to the absolutely fascinating world that was before. In some cases, not so long ago. It seems apparent from this exploration - something has been lost through the ages of the past. Whether it be technology or architecture, history to myths, sciences and magic, or great empires and their peoples, it all ultimately leads to lost knowledge. So let this be a collective digital library of exploration in the hope that it inspires others to challenge perspectives, discover, and continually learn.
Question it all. All the time.
Thank you for watching.

40 Minutes?!! What an absolute TREAT!! I love how these Coat of Arms seem to have a secret symbolism within. A cryptic way of sharing values, ideologies and allegiances. I'd take that over this ridiculous Digital ID, that "THEY" are pushing on us currently. I believe that it should be avoided at ALL COSTS.Thanks again LL, for another awesome video. 🙂👍
SPECTACULAR!!! Time and time again, you share the most fantastic content. These Iron Works are something else. Thanks so much!!! 🙂👍
Tartaria.🙏
10/10 Latent, pls do continue.
Amazonian women clad in copper plate armor 😳 interesting
There are sill little gems like that in these old documents - interesting indeed.
Devil is always in the details. You are doing Glob’s work.
Only 20k views in a year??? Algorithm no like you!😅 €4=√£π§6.78=3.14
Great work here, new sub, just commenting for the rithm 🎉
Welcome - Thank you
I really love your videos. They're beautiful. I have one thing to confess- I haven't seen many of them all the way through because on a mobile device and having vision issues, I cannot read anything on screen. I do wish you had more narration as to what you're showing us. So folks like me can absorb the entire message. 😢
Glad you like them. I don't think these style of videos will be narrated, but do hope you will still continue to watch.
@LatentLexicon oh! I will stick around, it'll take longer to consum your content since I'll have to be able to watch and simply not just listen. But make no mistake, your work is impeccable.
Suggest looking at Big Bend park in Texas. Very strange formations.
I'll check if there are any publications or images worth adding to the library - appreciate the tip.
37:09 1:18:01 why does this look to have age built into it already? Looks quite old and rustic
Citadels had wells? Makes sense but the subject is almost never covered. Not small wells. 2:59 - is the Wells of the Citadelle in Turin on the right. There's apparently many of these but good luck getting a hit on the subject. I got a tour of the depths of Citadelle de Quebec about 20 years ago. Not a single picture of what I saw is online.
13:26 #31 Alec Baldwin - Cloning or time traveling??? Are history is all lies after lies.
WOW!!! My brain can't even articulate the utter magnificence of this period. The Hollis Street Unitarian Church at 1:25, is absolutely BONKERS!! Keep up the great work LL. Your channel alone, renews my faith in TH-cam and the Internet. There's WAY too much noise, distraction, subterfuge and misinformation out there. This channel is a refreshing respite from the rest. Thanks again!! 🙂👍
Kind words - Thank you and appreciate the comments 🫡
Castles and roads, agriculture already in place. Thanks.
Interesting 6(00) feet long 6(0) feet wide 6(0) feet high 🤔
It was like a fairy tail in the 1800's
Interesting that the author of some of these accounts states that brick was the antediluvian method of construction and mentions the part about Seth, neither of these details are mentioned in the Bible, I think the first mention of brick use is in the construction at Babel post-flood..so this information is some what esoteric and I’m curious as to the source of this
Where did they find these master crafsmen between the cowboys 130 years ago?

Even if artificial, would take skill and work that would be impossible.
1:18:59 looks quite weathered and dirty and aged
What an incredible job of research!
Some nerd drew these completely useless ornamentations in detail in 1882 to sell to whom? The market for useless trinket wall décor must have been huge in 1880. Maybe us the consumers are the problem. For over a hundred years now.
I have no idea why you think this is something amazing and revolutionary. To turn photos into a bokk, they were engraved by hand, this everything was redrawn. Engravers freely improved upon images because they stilm thought of themselves like painters. There is literally nothing new or exciting here. And nothing hidden or nefarious, except that the publishers wanted the prettiest presentation of the buildings at the fair.
Ah, nothing revolutionary here. The ability to manipulate the most prolific and most trusted documenting medium (photography) of the era. It's just pretty pictures - gotcha.
@LatentLexicon Literally no one with half a brain doesn't know pictures were altered. Go look at pictures of ladies and see how often their waists are painted smaller! The exhibition was one of many similar ones beginning with the World's Fair in the UK. Yes, people put up really spectacular mostly temporary buildings really fast. Then they were taken down. Guess what? Theater sets in the 1800s were much more elaborate than those now, too. Oooooo it's a conspiracy.
Ok. Thanks for watching.
@LatentLexicon look at the official photographs of Queen Alexandra of Demark when she was young. She was notorious for her highly retouched photos with fake waists. But thet weren't all over painted so you can see dramatically different shapes in different photos from the same era. Haven't you ever noticed that no one has acne or scars in old yearbooks??? Those were heavily retouched too until the 1960s.
Their excessive claims of "authenticity" would be an example of "Thou doth protest too much, me thinks"🤔
Were there really a lot of visitors?
Roughly 27 million visitors.
Notice the prices. These things were hundreds of dollars in today’s money.
38:13 there's a whitewashed flag with a griffin on it.. or were they just waving a white flag?
Why the vanilla sky - ? Context removed?
Are you Maryland or E Canadian. Oot? I like it. Or AI voice transfer.
This comment is Ooot of line 😉
Look at those Huge nuts and fruits. Pigs. Thank you
lots of big guys
When you view the documents they are crystal clear so why are you showing them as if they're underwater?
There's a handy little thing called resolution that you can adjust up to 1080. It's not 16k as you would probably like, but it is still quite "crystal clear". Isn't it peachy that I include a link so you can investigate for yourself?
It's 2025 and still it looks like I'm viewing something from underwater.
I print them all out and photograph them underwater - obviously.
Why did they expose this knowledge back in 1805? Revelation of the method? So that we give our consent willingly for the upcoming deception? (You were shown the truth and chose the lie, therefore our spell is strong)?
Gorgeous
Thanks, it's a great book, as an architect I was looking for some classic and traditional architecture.
A man who had collected incunabula from cooking and agriculture came to my attention. This collection was one of the largest of its kind ever auctioned in this hemisphere. He had many books like this. It made me wish I could dedicate much of my life to such a collection.
If you have any info on digital links or sources I could investigate that would be greatly appreciated.
Seek out incunabula collections.
I will look into that - Thank you!
Could it be that the explanation for the two year build time being seemingly impossible is because it wasn’t built, it was faked/illustrated on a foundation of what they were able to do. Kind of like the thesis/narrative that the moon walk was fake and done in order to; bolster patriotism/nationalism, flex geopolitically, stimulate tech, launder and divert money. Imagine other countries seeing the glory of Chicago 1893 and strength of our society. Anyway with an Occam’s razor point of view trying to explain why this has happened I believe would lean towards petty motivations of nation and states over tartarian civilizations.
I do not subscribe to the Tartarian civilization theory. However, this doesn't mean America and the supposed "New World" is void of mystery. It is an interesting theory that it may have been faked, however, I don't believe that is the case. A concept I propose in future episodes, which is immediately dismissed by many who look into these fairs, is that they were indeed completed and operated as documented. A feat that would bolster patriotism/nationalism etc. as you have mentioned. Uniting the country's resources completely - monetary, industrial and craftsmen - to complete something so grand, in such a short timeframe, that nations who attended would witness this geopolitical flex. I could also be completely wrong and that's why it's important for everyone to investigate further.
@ Maybe I am misunderstanding but it sounds like the proposed “concept” is that what we are told in mainstream history regarding this is correct.
Yes and no. I explore the idea in more detail than - Actually, it happened exactly how it is represented. Maybe it was incorrect of me to use the word "concept". It is a mysterious event, indeed. There is a lot of misrepresented information which is regurgitated online. It is also one of the most documented events - in history. Maybe there was exaggeration, maybe there was some fakery and mischievous deceptions. Maybe it goes deeper than I could ever imagine. It is bittersweet as there is almost no tangible structures/buildings left of this event. There is imagery/photographs, souvenirs, tickets, magazines, journals, guides, booklets and a whole host of official publications - some used in the highest levels of Government - Not saying this is good or bad, simply an objective observation. Some of these large publications are in multiple languages. Those are what I sift through to try and piece together some coherent idea of what happened. This is a multi-series project and my views have shifted all over the map as I continue research.
Thank You for Sharing! Cheers!
Thanks for the visit.
There is no snowfall data for the city of Chicago during the months of October, ever according to NWS🤔 It says the coolest recorded high in October in Chicago was 28° in 1917. Not making it impossible for the snow coverage but pointing to not likely.
1:08:44 watching this machine is making my brain hurt, in a semi masochistic ice cream brain freeze type of way. It’s astounding how we not only come up with these things but are able to create machines to make custom parts to make the things that make things…
1:12:15 those images to me seem to be of the complex being deconstructed and repurposed materials to be used to build the new city.
